The journey is only 1% finished

It's hard to find where you belong; this is mine.

As I announced on Twitter, I would be joining the incredible Stack Overflow team working in-between the Community and the Platform Engineering team here at Stack Overflow.

Helping to improve the Stack Overflow platform, in general, is exciting for me, and it's precisely the kind of role I have been looking out for.

I am looking forward to working with all the moderators on Stack Overflow and helping to shape the future, importantly making it an open/safe place where users can easily collaborate, ask questions and get answers to issues they have.

I had roughly around ten interviews, every single person I spoke with from Sara Chips, Yaakov Ellis, Teresa Dietrich, Cesar Manara and the fantastic coordinator Abby T. Mars, where all amazing, the flow of the interview was one excitement after another, I sure studied hard for this one after every interview πŸ˜‚

Joining a team like this, with so many incredible people, changes everything for me, contributing to a global platform that has about 50 Million+ monthly visits and 20 Million+ developers actively using this platform is enormous, and I look forward to building a platform with Stack Overflow where every user feels welcomed when using our platform, and I can’t wait to begin on the 25th of January 2021

As Chukwuemeka Afigbo would say:
